In this episode of Vital Psychedelic Conversations, Johanna interviews Monica Nieto: Vital graduate, psychedelic facilitator and integration coach, and founder of Holistic TherapeutiX, a retreat center offering cannabis and breathwork retreats; and Jordana Ma: past Vital instructor and psychological counselor who runs retreats in Peru following the Asháninkan tradition of traditional Amazonian medicine.
They discuss their similar paths to psychedelics and healing, the power of plant dietas and fully immersing yourself into nature, and learning to hear your true teacher: the inner healer. They highlight how we’ve lost the connection to the ecological consciousness within our bodies, and how the plants – perhaps in a self-serving way – have become allies, trying to teach us to heal the web we’re a part of and reconnect to nature and ourselves.
They discuss:
- The importance of combining traditional perspectives and Western psychotherapy into a spiritual practice
- The similarities between yoga and traditional Amazonian medicine
- Singing as a somatic (and breathwork) practice
- How things are meant to work in synergy, and the problem with science trying to extract compounds rather than respecting the power of the whole plant
- Their role models who have inspired them and informed their work
and more!
